Editor . Photographer . Graphic Designer
I’m Mandy, Welcome to my little corner of the world.
My journey with photography began years ago at Sears Portrait Studio when I was just 18. It didn’t take long for me to realize that photography and videography were the mediums that would allow me to truly express my creativity. However, it wasn’t until I received my own wedding photos back from a talented photographer that I truly fell in love with the art of editing.
Seeing the moments that she had captured and the way her editing brought them to life was truly inspiring. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to learn everything I could about photo and video editing. I spent years perfecting my skills in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator, honing my craft until I was confident in my abilities.
I love nothing more than watching a flat photo come to life with a few dynamic settings in Lightroom, or seeing a video project come together with carefully chosen clips and music. I also enjoy creating graphics such as company logos and crafting brand merchandise using my Cricut machine.
Starting Light & Balance Editing has been a dream come true for me, as it has allowed me to lend my skills and passion to the creative community. My goal is to help others bring their visions to life and create stunning visual content that truly captures their unique perspectives.

GET TO KNOW ME
Just a few of the things that are prominently featured in my life
LOVE TO EAT:
Literally anything from a smoker, steak, garlic parm chicken wings, cream cheese and Mexican food.
IF I WASN´T A PHOTOGRAPHER..
I’d probably still be a marketing professional. I really did love building a story with information and designs, putting it out there, and watching the data to see what people found the most interesting.
MY FAV MOVIES
Anything Marvel. Even the not so great stuff. And I’ll never say no to a good
Rom-Com.
I´M MOST THANKFUL FOR:
My family! My husband, daughters, brother, sister and parents are absolutely everything to me. Plus, I can’t forget about my team who pushed me to keep going when I thought I’d never start out on my own!
